Kyler Ward Johnson was welcomed into this life by his loving family on February 22, 2013 in Boise Idaho.
Kyler is a superhero to his family and all those who had the privilege to know him. Kyler’s superhero power is his smile and the ability to be happy in the face of extreme adversity. He inspired us to smile and move forward, accepting life’s challenges without complaint. Kyler is a strong willed, fun loving boy with a quick wit who won people’s hearts with his smile and giggle. Kyler’s influence on people brought family, friends, and strangers closer to Christ through service.
Kyler was courageous and fought valiantly against an unknown, undiagnosed neurodegenerative disease, and most assuredly won his battle. At the young age of 6, Kyler was given back into his Heavenly Parents care on September 10, 2019 surrounded by his loving family.
Kyler is remembered and loved by his parents Derek Robbins Johnson and Sandy Janae Johnson and by his siblings Jadon Dee Johnson, Jarrett Dean Johnson, Ramey Grace Johnson, and Derek Trey Johnson. Also, his Grandparents Dee Lafaun Johnson, Christine Johnson, Dean Bowles Ward, and Toni Holly Ward. He is also remembered by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A viewing for the public will be held Friday September 13, 2019 from 6:00pm-8:00pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Grantsville 13th Ward Chapel, 410 Shelley Lane, Grantsville, UT. Funeral Services will be held Saturday September 14, 2019 at 11:00am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Grantsville 13th Ward Chapel, 410 Shelley Lane, Grantsville, UT.
In honor of Kyler, the family will be wearing something Blue, Kyler’s favorite color, at the funeral. The family invites all who would like to join them, to wear something, anything, blue in color which we’re sure would bring a smile to Kyler’s face.
Interment will be held at the Grantsville City Cemetery, 370 W Main Street, Grantsville, UT immediately following the funeral services.

Our son, Noah was in Kyler's Kindergarten class and he loved Kyler. He would come home and tell me about staying in at recess and playing his tablet with him. He always told me Kyler's favorite color is blue and he loves PJ Masks just like me. He will be missed terribly. What a special little boy. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I am sincerely sorry to hear of the loss of your son. We lost our son 3 years ago, and we know your deep sorrow at this time. May the love of your family and friends help to lift you up now, and may your spirits feel God's loving arms around you. Kyler is with his heavenly family, but I know you'll feel his spirit around you many times for years to come as he watches over you and anxiously waits to greet you. As a mother, I have definitely felt my son's presence and felt his love these past 3 years, even though he resides with Jesus.Know you are not alone. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult of times.
